Lake Champlain Basin Program
Joining Forces to Improve the
Stewardship of Lake Champlain
The Lake Champlain Basin Program works in partnership with government agencies from New York, Vermont, and Quebec—along with private organizations, local communities, and individuals—to coordinate and fund efforts that benefit the Lake Champlain Basin’s water quality, fisheries, wetlands, wildlife, and recreational and cultural resources. The program’s website had not evolved over the years, so Taylor Design was approached to redevelop it. The new site was restructured with three primary areas of focus: water, culture, and education, with content ranging from invasive species monitoring and water quality reporting to bikeway trails and student’s pages. We integrated the grants and publication databases and created a volunteer outreach program, a media center, and activity calendars. The open source content management system allows LCBP staff to easily update the website.
